The object of this invention is to provide 11. To facilitate assembling and to insure a device which is adapted to be used in conproper alinemcn ot these parts. the insulatnection with the charging of storage bating disks 12 and 13 are provided on their teries, etc., which is arranged to cut out the inner surfaces with projections. 14 and 15.

The licctions the flow of current during variations of vol- 11 and 15 are integral vith the di ...s 12 and age, due to changes of speed of the gen- 3, respectively, and are 'formed with the erator, etc., as when used in connection with same punching operation enig'zloyed in the an automobile storage battery charged from forming of the disks. 6a a generator driven by the gas engine, which, This construction and arrangement saves as is well known, is run at varying speeds. a great amount ot time in assembling and. as

From the foregoing description it will be see-n that a construction and arrangement for a device of this class is provided which is positive in its action, simple in const-ruction and that the cost of manufacture is reduced to a minimum on account of the construction of the parts permitting the use `oi dies for their manufacture, which dies may be inexpensively made andthe parts readily assembled without requiring` skilled workmen and a substantial saving of time effected in such assembling.

lVhat l claim is A l. In ay cut-out, a base member having a downwardly extending flange, a portion of said flange being cut away and the edges of the flange at the cutaway portion being struck outwardly to form shoulders, the base member having a series of apertures, in sulating disks having projections integral therewith, said disks being located on top and on the bottom of the base member and the projections on the` disks engaging apertures in the base member, connecting terminals located beneath the disk at the bottom of the base member, t-he terminals, disks and base member being rigidly connected together, an electromagnet member positioned on the top disk, an armature located above the electromagnet, a casing having a cutout portion corresponding in dimensions to the cutaway portion of the flange, said casing being adapted to be guided into position by the abutment of the shoulders on the flange with shoulders on the casing.

2. In a cut-out, a base member having a downwardly extending flange, a portion of said flange being cut away and the edges ofthe flange at the cutaway )ortion being struck outwardly to form shouders, the base member having a series of apertures. insulating disks having projections integral therewith, said disks being located on top and o n the bottom of the base member and the projections on the disks engaging apertures in the base member, connecting terminals located beneath the disk at the bottom of the base member, the terminals, disks and base member being rigidly connected together, an electromagnet member secured on the top disk, said member including an u standing wall, an armature hinged to t e wall by means of a bracket, a spring member having two walls, the walls extending at an acute angle to each other and one wall being connectedto the upstanding wall, an upwardly Vcurved portion struck from the armature being engaged by a wall of the spring member for positively holding the armature in released position, and a casing having a cut-out portion and shoulders for abutment with the shoulders on the flange.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 26th day of June A. D. 1923.
